Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

38 notecards = 10 pages (4 cards per page)

Chapter 14: ANS

front 1

The secretions of the adrenal medulla act to supplement the effects of

back 1

sympathetic stimulation

front 2

Which of the following does not describe the ANS?

back 2

a system of motor neurons that innervates all muscle cells

front 3

Preparing the body for the "fight-or-flight" response is the role of the

back 3

sympathetic nervous system

front 4

The somatic and autonomic nervous systems differ in all of the following except

back 4

all of the neurotransmitters

front 5

A drug that might be used specifically to reduce heart rate in cardiac patients could be

back 5

a beta-blocker

front 6

The parasympathetic ganglion that serves the eye is the

back 6

ciliary ganglion

front 7

Cardiovascular effects of the sympathetic division include all except

back 7

dilation of the blood vessels serving the skin and digestive viscera

front 8

Over 90% of all parasympathetic fibers are derived from cranial nerve number

back 8

X

front 9

The "resting and digesting" division of the autonomic nervous system is the

back 9

parasympathetic division

front 10

Control of temperature, endocrine activity, and thirst are functions associated with the

back 10

hypothalamus

front 11

Which of these effectors is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?

back 11

skeletal muscle

front 12

Which of the following is not a result of parasympathetic stimulation?

back 12

dilation of the pupils

front 13

Which of the following statements is not true?

back 13

Sympathetic origin is craniosacral; parasympathetic is thoracolumba

front 14

Sympathetic responses generally are widespread because

back 14

NE and epinephrine are secreted into the blood as part of the sympathetic response

front 15

Sympathetic nerves may leave the spinal cord at which vertebra?

back 15

first thoracic

front 16

Autonomic ganglia contain

back 16

the cell bodies of motor nuerons

front 17

The parasympathetic fibers of the ___ nerves innervate smooth muscles of the eye that cause the lenses to bulge to accommodate close vision.

back 17

oculomotor

front 18

Fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures called

back 18

splanchnic nerves

front 19

Which of the following is not a plexus of the vagus nerve?

back 19

celiac

front 20

Visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic in that

back 20

visceral arcs involve two motor neurons

front 21

The parasympathetic tone

back 21

determines normal activity of the urinary tract

front 22

Once a sympathetic preganglionic axon reaches a trunk ganglion, it can do all but which one of the following?

back 22

synapse with a parasympathetic neuron in the same trunk ganglion

front 23

The white rami communicantes

back 23

carry preganglionic axons to the sympathetic chain

front 24

Beta-blockers

back 24

decrease heart rate and blood pressure

front 25

Erection of the penis or clitoris

back 25

is primarily under parasympathetic control

front 26

Which is a uniquely sympathetic function?

back 26

regulation of body temperature

front 27

Raynaud's disease

back 27

is characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction in the extremities

front 28

Autonomic dysreflexia

back 28

involves uncontrolled activation of autonomic neurons

front 29

Which sympathetic fibers form the splanchnic nerve?

back 29

those that pass through the trunk ganglion to synapse in collateral or prevertebral ganglia

front 30

In aging, autonomic inefficiency is often due to

back 30

clogging of preganglionic axon terminals with filaments

front 31

Where would you not find an autonomic ganglion?

back 31

in the armpit

front 32

Sympathetic division stimulation causes

back 32

increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure

front 33

The smooth muscle of the digestive viscera is served largely by the

back 33

tenth cranial nerve

front 34

The route of major parasympathetic outflow from the head is via the

back 34

vagus nerve

front 35

Parasympathetic functions include

back 35

lens accommodation for close vision

front 36

Emotions influence autonomic reactions primarily through integration in the

back 36

hypothalumus

front 37

The possibility of some control over autonomic responses is demonstrated by

back 37

biofeedback

front 38

The vagus nerve does not innervate the

back 38

parotid gland
